Kingdomcoin Proof-of-Work Phase Comes To An End, Multipool Available Soon

By Leave a Comment

Now that we can leave the Christmas holidays behind us, and have a couple of normal days until New Year’s Eve is upon us, it is time for some more altcoin news. Kingdomcoin’s Proof-of-Work phase has come to an end, and we have received an update in regards to a KING multipool. Let’s go!

As we mentioned in previous Kingdomcoin articles, there would be a relatively short KING mining phase after the ICO ended. Nothing unexpected here, as pretty much all of the miners dumped their KING at any price in order to recover costs for their hashpower. However, prices are not as low as you might expect at this point.  Read more...

KingdomCoin ICO Starting Soon, Several Community Questions Answered

By Leave a Comment

As is usually the case with more attention, some interesting questions have been raised, to which we have received answers. Some more general news has been announced as well, so let’s get to it!

One of the more pressing questions is why people/advertisers would be forced to pay in KING in order to use AltcoinKingdom’s services. While this is a good way to create an actual demand for KingdomCoin, there will be a lot of people who want to pay in Bitcoin.  Read more...

JudgeCoin – Due To Lack of Services, The Verdict Is Still Out

By Leave a Comment

So I was asked on Twitter the other day whether or not I wanted to do an article about JudgeCoin, as its mining phase is almost coming to a close. As we always like to look at new coins, here are my thoughts on JudgeCoin.

One of the things JudgeCoin has working in its favor from the start is the fact there is no IPO or pre-mine. There are also no parts of mined blocks going to some shady development fund or something similar. Sounds good so far.  Read more...

FreshCoin – Unique Energy-Efficient Mining Algorithm And SlingShield

By Leave a Comment

Someone asked me on Twitter whether or not I wanted to do an article about FreshCoin. Seeing as there still is barely any news worth reporting besides the usual FUD and unverifiable facts, let’s see what FreshCoin has to offer!

FreshCoin was launched only yesterday, despite being pre-announced on June 30th. As summer is getting closer and the temperatures are rising, it’s important to have an energy-efficient mining algorithm.

The FreshCoin developers have taken care of that, by implementing their own unique FRESH mining algorithm. According to the team, this algorithms reduces energy usage by 15-20% compared to X11/13/15, which are in turn far more energy efficient compared to Scrypt mining.  Read more...

LightCoin Will Bring LightMining to Mobile Devices Near You

By Leave a Comment

Time to look at some more coins, as it seems there is hardly anything worth of note about the coins we have covered before. LightCoin was suggested to me on Twitter, so let’s start off the day with exactly that!

Do not confuse LightCoin with LiteCoin, as they have absolutely nothing to do with each other. LightCoin uses the X11 Proof-of-Work algorithm , followed by a Proof-of-Stake switch once 10 million LIT have been mined.  Read more...
